Stereotypes about people with disabilities vary some with the particular disability, but here are a few:
* That they are less intelligent * that they are lazy/malingering/making it up if disability is not visible * that they expect easier treatment (as opposed to the legally required 'reasonable accommodation) * that they can't answer for themselves (so people speak only to the companion)
* that they are all very sweet (or all very mean) * that they cannot do regular tasks not related to their disability (eg, paraplegics still might like to go to movies, watch Basketball games, or knit, still can work in an office or retail store) * that they are fragile in ways unrelated to the disability. * that they are a liability rather than an asset (eg, Greyhound buslines used to require the disabled to provide a doctor's note in order to get on the bus, regardless of the disability) * that they are all the same, and personal needs and preferences are irrelevant/nonexistant
Stereotypes about physically or mentally disabled people include assumptions that they are dependent, incapable of contributing to society, or in need of constant care. These stereotypes can lead to marginalization, discrimination, and limited opportunities for individuals with disabilities. It's important to challenge and debunk such stereotypes by promoting inclusivity, empowerment, and equal opportunities for people of all abilities.

Stereotypes are often based on limited knowledge or preconceived notions about a group of people, and therefore they are more accurately described as opinions rather than facts. Stereotypes can be harmful as they oversimplify and generalize characteristics, behaviors, or beliefs of individuals based on their group affiliation. It's important to challenge stereotypes and recognize the diversity and complexity within any group.
